Alabama man accused of beating his roommate over stale cereal

An Alabama man was charged with domestic violence last week after he allegedly beat his roommate with an electrical cord after discovering the victim did not properly seal a box of Cap'n Crunch cereal, according to The Smoking Gun.

Smith was especially upset about the stale cereal because he is missing teeth and has trouble eating stale cereal, police said. Smith reportedly told his roommate to take out his dentures so he could see how difficult it is to eat the stale cereal, police said.

When the victim refused, police said Smith began beating him with an electrical cord.

The victim and suspect shared a home in Moundville.

The Smoking Gun reported officials at the Hale County Jail declined to say if Smith was in custody or had bonded out of jail.
